Warner, Smith and Maxwell are usually the names with Australia's T20 fortunes in their hands, but Duckworth, Lewis and Stern are again set to make their presence felt in India.

With rain forecast for tonight's series-decider in Hyderabad (12.30am Saturday AEDT), the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system, which has been applied in two Australian defeats during the limited-overs tour, could be decisive in the final match.

After persistent periods of rain in the lead-up to tonight's match, the outfield at Rajiv Ghandi International Cricket Stadium is soft and muddy.
